Points to consider before choosing RC toy:

1.It has to be Age appropriate :

Yes, that’s the biggest factor we need to rate before springing up to buy. If you need to buy one for child less than 5year old, consider a basic start model of RC car or RC truck. Reason, it has simple controller with just 2 buttons to help kids enjoy. Too many buttons can just cause confusion.

As the age grows, the complexity levels can be increased and cars or trucks of better stunts can be gifted to them.

Further for younger kids, you can opt for musical RC toys so that the lights and sound attract them. Also when ordering musical toys, check out for the volume buttons and volume quality, so as to ensure they are soothing.

2. Safety :

This is another most important factor while buying the RC toy. RC packages have chargers, controllers, main toy and they all mostly electrically chargeable. They have batteries as well, so you need to ensure that all the all the compartments are properly screwed. Further charging should not be handed over to small kids. They have antenna’s installed as well to act as receivers. Ensure that your child doesn’t puts that in his mouth. Have a clear look at the design and ensure that there are no choking hazards or sharp edges which might hurt kids. Like, very small side mirrors can be a choking hazard, as they get off very soon usually.

3. Functions :

You need to know discreetly the speeds being controlled, charging durations, robustness of the body, Control distances , Flying times, weight it carries. This all has to be considered basis the age and development of your kid. While teens can plugin easily with cars racing more than 30mph, a 5 year old cannot. For younger kids, you would want the functional time (flying or racing time) more with quick charging.

Cheers, for me too come from the same fraternity, post having a superb academics & close to 8 years of professional experience and blessed with a little one "who has indeed changed my life from Autumn to Spring";)

I used to love to play with remote control cars when I was little. I even had a remote control boat, which sunk heroically after not even 5 minutes of being in the water because I managed to turn it upside down and the engine died. It was still fun though.

Ohh I have never thought that the remote control cars can help developpe your child! Thanks for making me learning something new! However, I still belive playing in the nature and interact with other is the best way for a child to learn things.

I remember when my nephew was younger he had quite a collection of remote-controlled cars and helicopters but to be honest I’ve never thought how many things you need to consider before giving such a toy to your child! A very useful post for all the mums out there! x

We actually have a couple cars and used to have helicopters. I don’t know if we still have those. My son likes to watch them. I have noticed that sadly you get what you pay for as we bought one at a cheap price and it didnt last long.

Yes! My younger sister is 10 years younger than me and the things that she does not know about is crazy! RC toys was the best thing ever as a kid. Completely agree with the tips and the importance of safety. Thanks for sharing!

I still have such remote control toys in store and now my cousins used to play with these. I have a truck and a helicopter hanging. However, there are things which my cousin didn’t know about such product.

we have been guilty in buying remote control cars for children who are too young to grasp the knowledge on how to use the controls. I totally agree with age appropriate, but as adults, we love these toys too!

I agree with your article, my son just turned three years old and we bought for him Go! Go! Smart Wheels. The box comes with race tracks, race car and a remote control with only two buttons. Great job and Thank you for sharing.

RC toys are definitely a great way to help in the development of your child’s motor skills. However, as you mentioned, making sure of the respective age group is a must. Thanks for sharing this informative post.

This is what technology can do. Innovating things such as toys. For me I would love to teach my kids playing in the playground or at the beach. Being with nature most of the time but still some room for techie gadgets.
